Matheson Nets Game Winner As Huskies Blank St. John's 2-0

New Mexico Deals SU 2-1 Loss in OT

http://www.suathletics.com/news/2011/9/18/MSOC_0918115309.aspx?path=msoccer

Rookie Allando Matheson scores again for #2 UCONN and rookie Jordan Murrell who has started everygame for Syracuse, scores against #16 New Mexico.

If I were a U.S college coach you better believe I would be raiding TFC's and VWFC's academies every year. There are absolute studs in these programs that could turn any school's program around or help take it to the next level. If I were Syracuse's coach, I would be drooling. Sadly non the of the yank coaches take notice.

I think I was in the minority when I agreed with that York U coach who was pushing to get the CIS in the MLS draft. A lot of the users here thought it made no difference if they were draft eligable considering they can get "trials" if they are good enough. However, they forgot to look at all the variables. If CIS players were draft eligable, the short term impact might be little, but the long term ramifications would be significant. The quality of the CIS would improve considering potential players would know they can make their way to MLS through that avenue. A lot of the talented kids would stay over here and compete in our university/collegiate system.

I played CIS soccer from 2001-2005 at a perennial powerhouse and I feel not a single CIS player would be taken in an MLS draft. I just don't see the talent level as being high enough. Just look at past CIS player of year recipients and what if any professional career they've been able to move on to. I don't think it's because they can't get any looks, it's because they're not good enough.

I see what you're saying. However, I think the goal for the best players in a non professional development is always going to be the NCAA due to more factors than just a potential MLS tryout (ie prestige, college experience, a full ride scholorship etc)

Perhaps. Those are valid factors as well.

Is there such a thing as a full ride scholarship for soccer? I supose there might be a few out there but they are pretty rare. If you get tuition and books you've done well in most sports that are not football.

It happens more than you probably think but only because they get creative with the funding. They usually find other scholarships that aren't specifically the soccer team's money to get the players closer to or to total a full-ride.

Mississauga's Emery Welshman, transferred from Siena College to Oregon State.

By all acounts it was a good move for him.

Emery Welshman Named Bank of the West Pac-12 Player of the Week

For more on his progress, there are regular updates at www.sigma-sports.net

Good stuff. I checked his stats last week and he was only on 1G 2A at the time, so he has almost doubled his output (now has 2G 3A).

Daniel Tannous subbed on, then off and back on for UNC against Duke last weekend. The game was on FSC, so it was shown on FSWC here in Canada. I was surprised at the calibre of play, much better then the handful of NCAA games i've seen the past few years. Tannous seems to be a regular sub for UNC - who are among the top teams....

Great stuff deschamp86:

Some more updates from Sigma coming, but check out this goal from Kyle Bekker against Harvard from TopDrawerSoccer.com

Kyle Bekker scores off a nasty shot

Also, there was a nice write up on the Pac-12 web site of Emery Welshman, a teammate of Bekker's at Sigma.

Also, Ryan Lyn, a freshman striker from Toronto is worked his way into the starting lineup at Dayton. Here is a

Much more in the weekly Sigma FC university player report including Ryan Lyn scoring in Dayton, and Kyle Bekker scoring twice against Harvard. He scored the winner on Wednesday in a 1-0 win for Boston College over Boston U, but it did not make this report....

kj52 Is Jordan Ongaro, Ross Ongaro's son? The senior Ongaro was a former NASL player, Canadian Soccer League player and National team player. He is a successful coach of futsal and beach soccer at the moment if Wikipedia is to be believed.

Ross is Jordan's uncle. Ross teaches at an Edmonton High School and runs the soccer academy there besides, as you noted, having been with the national futsal and beach soccer programs. He also works for Edmonton Inter youth soccer club and coaches club teams there as well.
